      When MongoClient is passed an unknown option we raise a ConfigurationError for example:

      >>> MongoClient(uuid_representation='standard')
      ...
      pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError: Unknown option uuid_representation
      

      It would be a better experience if we raised a error message more helpful than "Unknown option uuid_representation". Perhaps we could do some inspection and raise "Unknown option uuid_representation: did you mean uuidRepresentation?"

      Related to PYTHON-3033.
